9. Lido Luna Rossa

Luna Rossa is so much more than just a beach club and restaurant. The food is incredibly fresh and especially the mozzarella and pizza are fantastic. The beach is impeccably maintained. The sand is ultra-fine and white. It is also an ideal beach for kids, as the water remains shallow for a good bit and kids can happily enjoy the transparent Serapo water. But the incredible food, sand, water and amenities all pale in comparison to the staff. The owners, Mino and Lucia, a gorgeous couple who probably should have their own TV show, are unbelievably cool, friendly and helpful. They seem to genuinely care about each and every one of their clients. And the rest of the staff as well, in particular the two girls at the bar (Manuela and Chiara), are the best. Thank you Luna Rossa for an unforgettable experience!Julian, Elektra and baby Nikita.

Had dinner at this place tonight - so glad we stumbled upon it! We had the pesto gnocchi and the meatball sandwich with smoked mozzarella. Everything is made fresh in house - the meatball sandwich was outstanding! The owner speaks lovely English and is so friendly and accommodating. We sat outside in the alleyway --- loved this unique and special setting that felt so european. We just got to Gaeta today, we will surely be back to The Dutch!

Alici fritte our favourite! But the pizzas are really special too. There is a big range of pizzas & at least two -Aristocratica & Raffinata -are cheese free -& very tasty! The menu is extensive, including fish,pizzas, salads,meats & -of course-dolce. Weâve been coming here for some years & Leone & his staff are great! We feel very at home here, thank you. I can add itâs very child friendly. You can sit outside near the pavement or inside -an interesting interior! At weekends in the summer it can become very busy so sometimes thereâs a queue-but always worth the wait!

Ristorante pizzeria
Reviewed By ElviraNY
Seeing this get good reviews, we decided to try it. It was literally 1 minute from the place we were staying. It is a very pretty place; it has a garden and a terrace-but-they will not serve pizza on the terrace-not sure why. We ordered a vegetable appetizer, pasta and seafood as well as a pizza. Service was slow and not very friendly. We waited almost 40 minutes between our pasta and grilled fish courses-with no explanation. The vegetable appetizer was among the smallest we've ever seen; a few sliced of grilled zucchini, eggplant and sauteed mushrooms and some other things but was very boring. My pasta-seafood with zucchini- was bland and the zucchini were cut so small they were almost invisible. I asked for peperoncino and waited almost 15 minutes-and when I saw the waitress and asked about it again-she asked me if I still wanted it. I did-the pasta needed something; the pepper helped. The grilled seafood was fresh but bland. The pizza was good-in fact-it was the best choice of the night. Our waiter did not show up again until it was time for the check and he asked if we wanted coffee and if everything was ok. It was one of the most expensive of our dinners in Gaeta-we were there for 10 nights-and one of the most disappointing. Even with all this-I would try it again. It is a very pretty place and sometimes a restaurant can have an off night.

This is the first time in many years of using TripAdvisor that I have been motivated to do a restaurant review. You expect good food in Italy. However, the standard of cooking and service here is so very good that I wished to make a recommendation for others. Both the seafood and meat dishes are of a high standard.

The food is better than most places in the area, but its a little more pricey. The chicken wings are great, but expensive compared to stateside prices for wings. They have a pretty good menu, and a daily buffet style lunch. Good atmosphere, but english is not a favored language here and most orders are based off of pointing at pictures, which are taken from the internet and do not reflect what you will receive. It's quite comical on most dishes, but the food is good and is a good break from pizza and pasta. Get the cheesecake...

Cantina di Ciccillo is a typical italian "enoteca" in the medieval part of Gaeta. Intriguing and full of history, the cantina offers a selection of high quality wines that can be tasted with traditional dishes (tiella, cured meats, italian cheese, etc.).

The outside alone could have been reason enough to stop. Down a little cobble-stoned alleyway, with quaint outdoor seating, on a beautiful August night. The food was incredible, all local and fresh specialties. The staff was helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

This was an experience we wanna have on this vacation. The staff so friendly and authentic. The food traditional, fresh and the potions are more then big. We chose a wine out of the location, which was recommended from the server and it was the best recommendation for this evening. We will definitely come back.
